Nemo Moonlite Elite Reclining Backpacking Chair

Weighing in at just 1.1 pounds, the Moonlite™ Elite reclining backpacking chair eliminates any excuse to leave comfort behind when you hit the trail. Offering both reclining suspension and stable support, Moonlite Elite features innovative design solutions that remove unnecessary weight and help the chair nest easily in your pack.

The chair’s brand-new suspension system trades webbing for slim cordage that blends HTP and Dyneema®, two fibers that have proven their strength and water resistance through time-tested use in rock-climbing, sailing, and other safety-critical activities. This high-strength cord feeds through a beautifully designed piece of hardware (inspired by belay devices) which is lightweight, unobtrusive, and allows for smooth reclining of the chair.

Both the forged aluminum hubs and molded corner mounts have been strategically optimized for weight while maintaining impressive strength and reliable durability. This process of “skeletonizing” the hardware removes every ounce of unnecessary material and is the result of complex design problem-solving and thorough engineering analysis. The result? An elevated, thoughtful design and a true backpacking chair that’s unmatched in the market.
